The OnePlus 9 series was recently unveiled by the company. But soon after its launch, the owners of the latest flagship realized that the device is missing a feature, namely the company’s File Dash function that offers file transferring.
According to an XDADevelop report, users on Reddit found that the File Dash feature in the latest handsets was missing on the Chinese tech giant’s File Manager app. Initially, it was unclear why the company decided to skip the feature on its new OnePlus 9 lineup. But now, the company officially offered clarification regarding the matter. For those unaware, the File Dash feature is a peer to peer fast wireless transferring solution the allows users to quickly send files from one device to the other through the File Manager app.
In a recent statement, OnePlus revealed that “In order to provide more seamless file transfer experience among Android devices, we have replaced “File Dash” feature with “Nearby Share” feature provided by Google. Users can go to Settings, click “Google,” and then click “Device Connections.” Users can then click “Nearby Share” to transfer files. If the other device does not support Nearby Share, users can transfer files via Bluetooth or other third-party applications.”
File Dash was introduced with the OnePlus 3 back in late 2016 and has been a common feature up till the OnePlus 8T. But the feature is missing with the company’s latest premium grade handset. Although, unless you use the feature often, it is likely not a feature most users would notice if removed.
